TenaciousB Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Alright so i guess i need a couple of questions answered. A friend and I are planning on buying a box with the intention of hosting CS 1.6 and CS:S servers for our clan. We might also rent out a few more servers to other people. In order to support 100-150 player slots, what type of connection from a data center would we need? From what I have found on the net, a 30-32 player slot 1.6 server uses approx 1500 kilobits per second. To run 100-150 slots wouldnt we need somewhere between a 6 and 10 megabit/s connection? Hopefully im missing something, because that would be one costly connection. How do you larger companies do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Larger companies by bandwidth commits of say 100 meg, then spread it across their racks and servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbiloh Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 For something small like that, your best bet is to start with a dedicated machine. That allows you to get the feel for things without jumping right in. For something able to run say 4 concurrent 32 man public servers (all populated and full), I would recommend a quad opteron or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
